I bought a few other things too.<br /><br />Linda: Agreed!<br /><br />Jenny O: Aside from Doris from Ghana, I think Miss Day is the only other Doris I know, too!<br /><br />Sharon: Indeed.<br /><br />Rafe: Yeah, I know! I'm not exaggerating when I say I wear them all the time, but only around the house. That African printed "wax cloth" is really durable stuff. No planned obsolescence!<br /><br />Ms Moon: I should have mailed them to you!

Your Doris shorts belong in the Smithsonian; more fabric like that and the clothing industry will be in real trouble, LOL. (Not that we don't all have favorite well-worn things and some of us have them even older than that, but usually they are worn only every now and then.)

Your Doris shorts are made of cool material. For some reason I thought you were going to show us shorts with pictures of Doris Day on them. I've only ever heard of two people by that name; one was a girl I went to school with, and the other was Miss Day!jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-63598178226229146652016-06-05T17:25:46.522+01:002016-06-05T17:25:46.522+01:00Replacing elastic shouldn't be too difficult. ...Replacing elastic shouldn't be too difficult.

Now that pattern for the shorts is wild.
